Pat And Eddie Smith Memorial (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Point-to-point runner up; carried out on his Rules' debut at Clonmel when a 5-1 shot; half-brother to Sky Pirate and Captain Teague and his dam won a bumper; should go well.

Promise in all three previous starts, including on first run for this stable at Navan; unraced on good ground so conditions are an unknown; obvious chance if he handles the ground and his pedigree offers hope that he will.

Promise in two starts in point-to-points on yielding to soft and good to yielding; cost 240,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother won over hurdles, as did his dam, both on good ground; yard 0-20 in bumpers so is probably best watched.

A 50,000euros foal was sold for £12,500 in December; is a half-brother to three useful bumper winners including Morning Supreme and Morning Run; makes plenty of appeal on paper for local yard; worth monitoring closely in the market.

Locally trained gelding held every chance when falling in sole point-to-point on heavy ground; no impact when 12-1 in first bumper at Navan (15.5f, soft to heavy) but may have needed that; his dam's best effort came on soft so the jury is out on whether this ground will suit; probably best watched.
